The only area where I wouldn't be crushed was the side of the stage surrounded by the previous' band drum kit and monitors, so my shots tended to revolve around center stage...
Although, the lighting was a lot better than normal, I talked to the guy doing lighting for this bands set, and thank God, he was a photographer and told me he was going to try to keep the light levels fairly high, and limit the red's...
Any critique would be great.

I like the first and second shot.
(They really should have drawn the curtain shut; I hate it when that happens)

The singer seems to have a limited set of facial expressions ;)

[BackPack]

Curtain?
i'm lost...

[René Damkot]

Black curtain in the BG (behind the singer) isn't fully closed...
So you see a black BG with a (dark) grey triangle.

[BackPack]

I see what you're saying, I figured something to that affect.
Any c&c for me...anyone?

How is The Door about bringing DSLR's inside?
Did you have to talk to somebody before hand?

[BackPack]

The Door is pretty chill about DSLR's, but don't expect any sort of a pit. Every time I shoot there, I just try to work my way towards the front during the openers, and pull out the gear from my bag before whoever I'm shooting comes on. For that show, I had talked with BTBAM's label and was able to shoot from the side of the stage which is normally for bands and crew.

Nice shots

Man, I go to the door a lot. I'm always too scared to bring my camera though.
